Yesterday: Round of community review. Started testing using SDK with the proxy against a real staging server. Seemed pretty groovy!

Yesterday: [Tuesday] I've managed fix the conversation things and, as promised, produced a PR for the conversation view ticket (#32). This is very much incomplete work (i.e. we still need data in terms of files etc..) but the UI stuff is now in place. I've since refocussed on the refactoring of login to be a modal pop-up. Also, chatted with @heartsucker about the client and various related wrinkles (resulting in new issues).
Today: [Wednesday] This is a half day for me and I'll continue with the modal login work with a view to getting a PR ready by my EoD.
Blockers: None.
I don't think login should be a modal :)
Yesterday: Spent time wrapping up research for the participants we already worked with
Today: Continue with research synthesis. In-take survey -- introduction page. Tomorrow back to prototyping.
